I’m beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. We’re up to the letter T in our article writing A-Z series. The letter T stands for tease. We all love to tease. For some people, it comes naturally. Well, learning how to tease when it comes to your article writing can increase the likelihood that your reader will actually read your article all the way through. This article is going to show you how to effectively use the tease to keep your reader hanging on. But before I get to the secret, a little story. So you’ll have to be patient for just a bit.

I was writing an article once, probably not on one of my better days, and for whatever reason, I thought I was done writing the article but in fact, I had left out the last paragraph. It was done totally by accident. Well, the end result was rather strange. I had more clicks on my resource box than with any other article I had ever written. I couldn’t understand why. And then, it hit me. People were probably clicking through to my site hoping to find the end of the article there. I had left them hanging, quite unintentionally, but it had a great effect. It brought me tons of visitors.

After that time, I started to write articles where, at the end of them, I’d say something like, “For more info and my best tip ever, visit my site at URL” This technique really worked like gangbusters, especially for non IM niches. You might want to try it sometime.

Okay, see what I just did? I was about to tell you about how to use teasing in articles but then I said I was going to tell you a story first. I got you all excited about what you were going to read but made you wait just a little bit by throwing in that little story. THAT is the art of the tease. You tell the person about this great thing you’re going to tell them, but then you don’t tell them right away. This forces them to keep reading in order to find out what it is.

Naturally, the greater you can make it sound, what you’re going to share, the greater the chance of the reader hanging on to the end. It’s a fine art and one that takes time to master. If the benefit isn’t strong enough, they won’t read on. If the story, or whatever it is you use to make them wait, is too long, they’ll eventually stop reading out of frustration.

Anyway, you might want to try this technique sometime. It just might keep YOUR readers hanging on to the very end.

To YOUR Success,
